Management

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a very dangerous condition in which consistently high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) cause toxic compounds (called ketones) to build up in your blood and urine.

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes have high blood sugars in the morning for no apparent reason? You might be suffering from something called “the dawn phenomenon.”

There have been certain landmark diabetes trials that are so important and ground breaking, they have changed the way we treat diabetes.

High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) can be very harmful for people with diabetes, especially when they remain elevated for long periods of time.

Regular blood glucose testing is important for people with diabetes, but are random blood glucose tests also helpful?

If you are caring for a loved one with diabetes, it’s important that you know how to recognize and manage high blood sugar levels (this is known as hyperglycemia).

Having a cold is never fun. But when you have diabetes and a cold there’s an added risk to all that sniffing and sneezing: as your body sends out extra hormones to fight infection, it can alter your body’s sugar and insulin response.
